Today's New DVDs- 6/23/09

Waltz with Bashir: A terrific hybrid of documentary, narrative, and stunning animation; it's quite unlike anything I've ever seen, and I mean that in the most purely complimentary sense. Well worth picking up, and the Blu-ray is gorgeous.

The Code:See exactly how far Morgan Freeman will go for a paycheck in this laughably bad heist caper. Co-starring a nearly-unintelligable Antonio Banderas and the usually great Robert Forster, in a role so bad you literally feel sorry for him.

Pink Panther 2: I didn't actually see this one. But I learned my fucking lesson from the "original" Pink Panther remake; it's not only the worst movie Steve Martin has ever made (and that's quite an accomplishment these days), but it's particularly bad compared with even the worst of the other "Panther" pictures.

About Me

I started writing about films for a small monthly alternative rag in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas, back in 1998. This was primarily as a distraction while I was pursuing my own interests as a filmmaker. Now, over a decade later, I've written for alt-weeklies and several websites (including my current gig as film editor for Flavorwire), and I've found that I tend to enjoy writing about films more than I enjoy making them. Plus, it's faster!
